Onions

I didn't like onions as a child-not in anything. Now that I'm older, I like sweet onions and carmelized onions. Tastes change.

This week I was reading about how we lose taste buds as we age, and those we keep become less sensitive. We also lose our sense of smell (which also affects our sense of taste).

So when I was nine and my mom served meatloaf and said, "Yes, there are onions, but you can hardly taste them."

I should have said, "Maybe if you're old!"

Or maybe not.
